    What a performance from Alex Yee. He still has some work to do but can he pull back 15 seconds on New Zealand's Hayden Wilde. That's a lot of time to give an in-form Wilde.

    India 72-2 v Australia (9.2 overs)

    Shafali Verma is on fire for India starting an over with three fours and a two.

    Bowler Tahlia McGrath slows things down and very nearly gets Verma stumped after she races down the crease.

    Next over though and Australia do have a wicket, as Yastika Bhatia is run out after a horror mix up.

    The noise was electric during the entirety of England's heat, and there are still loads of empty seats!

    Wales will race Australia for the bronze.

    World number one Hayden Wilde comes into transition alongside fellow New Zealander Tayler Reid and South Africa's Jamie Riddle, 16 seconds ahead of the chasing pack.

    Alex Yee is part of that chasing pack. Yee comes off the carpet hunting the leader...

    5km to go to the first medal of Birmingham 2022.

  6. No kit, no problem for Nigeriapublished at 11:37 British Summer Time 29 July 2022

    The Nigerian team put an urgent plea out to UK kit manufacturers after being let down by their usual suppliers.

    The call was answered by MG Sportswear in Kidderminster, who have been working round the clock to get 200 pieces of kit ready for the 93-strong team.

    Manager Gino Ruffinato initially thought the call was a "wind-up" but soon realised it was genuine.

    "Everybody's embraced it, they've worked hard and done many hours to make sure it happens," he said.

    England's Yee starts the fightback?published at 11:36 British Summer Time 29 July 2022

    Is that invisible bungee cord between the leaders and the chasers starting to ping back?

    After the third of four laps, the gap between the three-strong leading group, featuring world number one Hayden Wilde, and the chasing pack is down to 18 seconds from 21.

    Yee has a whip-smart run leg to come remember.

    This is brewing up nicely....

  10. Biggest Coventry cheer of the daypublished at 11:35 British Summer Time 29 July 2022

    The men's rugby sevens programme continues and the loudest cheer of the day so far came for a Sri Lanka team who suffered a heavy 63-5 defeat against New Zealand.

    The highlight for the Coventry crowd came when Sri Lanka's Ashan Ratwatte scored a very popular try at the end of the first half.

    We also had an entertaining game as Kenya defeated Uganda 27-14 in an all-Africa affair

    England and Samoa are up next.

    Wales' men's team pursuit quartet - led by European bronze medallist Rhys Britton - go into second in qualifying with a time of 3:54.613.

    New Zealand are the team to beat so far, 4.7 seconds quicker than the Welsh.

    Australia are up next, before England take to the boards.

    When you are in a big group like this it is really hard to marshal the troops to cut a gap. Alex Yee needs an Alistair Brownlee alongside him to help organise this chase.

  13. Can these England pros play street cricket?published at 11:33 British Summer Time 29 July 2022

    India 51-1 v Australia

    India's 50 comes up inside eight overs thanks to a cracking slog sweep over midwicket for four from Yastika Bhatia.

    Speaking of cricket, England players Sophie Ecclestone, Danni Wyatt and Nat Sciver have taken on Chris Hughes and the best street cricketers in Birmingham in a warm-up match before the Commonwealth Games. Check it out!

    England will be aiming for a medal and face Sri Lanka in their first match at Edgbaston tomorrow.

    This is cat and mouse, nip and tuck, hammer and tongs. Choose your metaphor. Pick your fighter.

    New Zealand duo Hayden Wilde and Tayler Reid, along with South Africa’s Jamie Riddle, have opened up a 21-second lead on the chasing pack, featuring England's Alex Yee, after the second 5km lap of the bike leg.

    Has Yee got enough support in the chase group to close that gap?

    Hockey - Scotland behindpublished at 11:29 British Summer Time 29 July 2022

    South Africa 2-1 Scotland

    At the end of the first quarter Scotland find themselves behind against a ruthless South Africa.

    It's been a match of penalty corners so far with a left slip allowing Scotland to open the scoring through Charlotte Watson.

    But South Africa soon turned things around with injector Lisa-Marie Deetlefts equalising with a rebound from a short corner and then adding a second with a deflection.

    NI's Wiffen qualifies fastest for 400m finalpublished at 11:28 British Summer Time 29 July 2022

    A pretty staggering result came out of the Sandwell Aquatics Centre a little earlier, where Northern Ireland's Daniel Wiffen has qualified for the men's 400m freestyle final with the fastest time (3:47.43).

    It was certainly expected that he'll compete for a medal in the 1,500m, the 400m was more of an uncertainty but... whisper it quietly... you'd have to say he's in with a shout there, even if he'll likely need to go faster still in the final to make the podium.

    The final goes just after 19:00 BST tonight, where the Loughborough-based swimmer will be going for NI's first ever Commonwealths medal in the pool.

    Just to put Harper Jean Barrowman's swim into context in the first heat. The athlete from the Cayman Islands was over 10 seconds behind Madison Wilson's time in heat two.

    Mollie O'Callaghan, the world silver medallist from last month takes heat three, with Jersey's Lily Scott and Northern Ireland's Bethany Firth well off the pace.

    Olympic champion Australia's Ariarne Titmus and England's Freya Anderson still to come.
